-## windows.compile_resources now detects header changes with rc.exe
-
-The `rc.exe` resource compiler neither provides *depfile* support nor
-allows showing includes, as is possible with C or C++ compilers.
-Therefore, changes to files included by the `.rc` file did not trigger
-recompilation of the resource file.
-
-A workaround was added to *meson* by calling the preprocessor on the
-`.rc` file to detect the included headers and adding the result as a
-dependency to the resource compilation.
